Nestled among the remote nature of Mexico, the Aculco House is a tribute to the raw beauty of the landscapes that surround it. The minimalist holiday retreat is constructed from locally quarried stone from the area, wood, and clay floors. Each material was kept in its raw, natural state in order to complement the scenery while requiring little upkeep. The simplicity of the palette and large glazed panels allow the rustic scenery to remain the focus even from the interior.

Built in the shadows of the architect's childhood home, House on the Mist is a modest retreat in the mountains of Colombia. The cabin acts as a rural weekend getaway from the busy capital. Clad in pine, the timber has been treated with a traditional technique for waterproofing fishing boats. giving the exterior a black hue and a eucalyptus scent. Its interior consists of just a kitchen, bathroom, living area, and lofted bedroom lined in warm wood paneling. While a glass-brick window filters in natural sunlight, carefully placed teak-trimmed glazing frames in views of the San Rafael reservoir and the surrounding Andes mountains.

The coast of the island of Karpathos is defined by mounds of jagged rocks running into the sea. Rather than distract from the dramatic landscape, the Patio House aims to blend in. Its concrete facade organically emerges from the terrain like another massive boulder. Not to disrupt the existing environment, the home sits lightly on a natural plateau, cantilevering off the cliffside and floating over the water below. Internally, minimalist rooms are arranged around a central patio. While walls of reinforced concrete protect the outdoor space from harsh winds, large openings afford expansive views of the Aegean Sea.

While normal sweats are great for lounging around the house, most aren't ideal for getting out in the temperatures seen daily throughout the winter months. Coldsmoke's Windbloc Joggers were made for just that kind of weather, using Polartec Windbloc fleece that blocks virtually all wind with an exterior that's extremely water repellent. You get the feel of fleece joggers on the inside, while the outside looks more polished and wards off the elements. Made in California, think of the Windbloc Joggers as more of your go-to casual pant than workout garb, as the insulation factor makes them great for braving the elements, but not spin class.

After working in the United States, a writer retires to the coast of Nova Scotia. During his career, he compiled quite a book collection meaning not only did he need a place for himself to reside, but also a home for his novels. The cabin sits perched on a cliffside overlooking the Atlantic ocean. Its abstract form is the result of large sections being removed in order to create a covered entrance and terrace. Clad in white channel-joint boards, the exterior acts a transition between the silvery coastline and the bright white interior. Internally, a light, airy atmosphere is created by a sky-lit slot that runs across the ceiling and expansive glazing. The highlight is the library. Separating the main living area from the master bedroom, the room is filled with floor-to-ceiling shelves and a window framing in views of the sea, creating a refuge to dwell amongst the books.

Set amongst the rugged landscapes of the Isle of Skye, the Black Shed House is a minimalist tribute to the area's agricultural heritage. A simple gabled silhouette is consistent with the classic Scottish blackhouses used by farmers to escape the harsh weather. Clad in corrugated aluminum, the facade resembles agrarian buildings throughout the region while its black hue offers a contemporary revision. Unlike most modern homes, the walls aren't full of expansive glazing. Instead, the interior takes a more traditional approach with thoughtfully placed openings that take advantage of incoming sunlight. Paired with the Douglas fir lining, the interior becomes a warm, intimate refuge.

The Blundstone 500 Series was originally created over 50 years ago, but its classic styling and sturdy construction have ensured that its legacy is alive and well today. The timeless Chelsea boot design is constructed with breathable, waterproof-oiled leather and a hefty, slip-resistant outsole that works rain or shine. Although, what truly makes these boots stand out from the pack is their comfort. The combination of a cushioned midsole, a shock-absorbing footbed, while being lightweight, allows for all-day wear.

Wedged into the rugged coast of an island in southern Norway, the House on an Island is a unique artist's retreat. Careful attention was paid to the topography of the site in order to nestle the structure into the contours of the boulder. Upon entry, the boundaries between the interior and the outdoors are nearly undetectable. The rocky terrain seamlessly transitions into a concrete floor and a prefabricated wood shell encloses the living spaces. Its lattice pattern immerses the interior in the coastal landscape while filtering the incoming sunlight, creating the illusion of sitting outside under a shade tree. While the home is wrapped in an outdoor terrace, a staircase leads to a rooftop deck offering unobstructed views across the sea.

Disguised as a prehistoric boulder resting in a valley in northern Beijing, the Chapel of Sound takes organic architecture to the extreme. The massive rock is the home to a semi-outdoor concert hall that will serve the capital. Taking cues from its natural setting, the structure is made from concrete and crushed mineral stones formed to resemble the rock formations found in the surrounding mountains. Its design isn't just a clever way to blend into the scenery. The shape is also acoustically-friendly to improve the sound of musical performances. Currently under construction, the venue includes an open-air amphitheater, an outdoor stage, and a viewing platform that overlooks the mountainous landscape as well as the neighboring Great Wall of China.
